Sparse coverage was given to the blockade of Qatar, led by Saudi Arabia, UAE, and their allies. As of Nov 2018, eight sovereign countries have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, banning planes and ships from entering their airspaces and sea routes along the Saudi border. Qatar, a tiny, peninsular, oil and gas-rich country, depends largely on food imports and other necessities, for trade and travel in and out of the region. The rift affects and imperils US military operations in the region, as Al Udeid Air Base, is the primary base of US air operations against ISIL. What’s the connection between that and Trump declaring ISIS has been obliterated? Trump/Kushner backed the 2017 Saudi-aggression against Qatar, after Qatar initially refused the half-Billion dollar extortion Kushner demanded for his 666 Fifth Avenue realty-deal gone awry. Thereafter, bailout came through Toronto-based, Brookfield Properties, among whose major investors are: Qatar Investment Authority. Trump and Kushner have used their public offices to manipulate Gulf countries for personal gain.
